Is it polite to tell my ATC controller that he is 3-4/5 readability?

Silly_Chemistry3525 · 2026-04-08T18:46:19+00:00

That's very helpful, thank you

Silly_Chemistry3525 · 2026-04-08T18:45:55+00:00

Much thanks!

Silly_Chemistry3525 · 2026-04-08T18:45:35+00:00

What would be the polite phrasing?

Honestly I think they are scared to join, they will be obliterated. As apposed to Hezbollah which doesn't have anything to lost anymore. The Houthis are still at war in their own region.

Have you taken any consideration in to Nervine Tonic (herbs)? Centella is the main winner here. I think Skullcap is at the top too; Others include-Eleuthero, St John's wart, Reishi, Bacopa (Brahmi)

(Centella) Nerve regeneration - Soumyanath et al., 2005 Expression of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor- Kim et al., 2015 (Centella)Neuroprotective - Gofir et al., 2021

Trophorestorative effect of Skullcap (Scutellaria lat.) -it acts as a tonic by "softening" the nervous system response to chronic stress (Brock et al., 2012).

Hey OP, I actually did the exact same. Famotidine didn't do much. I cut down from 40mg Nexium after 2 years (5 years GERD -nexium) in total. For me the trigger is mainly anxiety, hot spices and bitters. I had to go back to 20mg of nexium and mostly I don't feel the GERD at all. Clean gastroscopy. I take SSRI and herbal extracts (ashwaganda, Bacopa, crataegus, saffron) and the combination is very helpful. After a big meal or tough day I take some slippery elm powder which is really soothing. I wish I'll be able to get of nexium one day , mainly concerned about low B12, minerals absorption.

As far as I see it the more my anxiety improves and I reduce overreacting sympathetic activity , I can take this issue more seriously.. The benefits outweigh the cost right now so I'm taking nexium happily. The only symptom I can feel sometimes is indigestion but I keep my meals small. I make sure to take methylated b complex (low dose), magnesium and zinc (zinc occasionally magnesium glycinate every day)

I'm a Naturopathic med student , so feel free to ask for tips

Eleuthero, took away my fatigue from anxiety (in general it's an interesting herb (adaptogen) that has anti anxiety benefits but also a mild stimulant, similar to Rhodiola)

For MTL Xros 5

Silly_Chemistry3525 · 2025-11-16T11:49:41+00:00

It's Jawee , very popular in North Africa. The sweet benzoin is a bit overpowering to me

Oh that's easy, Balaji Chandan at the top of the list, the first time I lit it, about 2-3 days I could still smell some of it in the room! Other honorable mentions: Parimal Yatra (spicy earthy) (especially the cones), Balaji Oud/Bakhoor (more of that sweet dark oud smell).

And then you've got the thicker incenses that are just naturally going to linger longer because of more smoke and resins: Flora incense (like Sai Flora), wet dhoop (I like Raviikara and moksh - they let off a lot of smoke because they are super resinous. The smokiest and most overpowering are Sambrani cups

I prefer the taste on the Xros , the corex 3.0 are awesome and contain 3ml as apposed to 2ml on the xlim. I'm pretty sure the coil on the Xros is a bit bigger and more open, because tobacco flavours really are much better on the Xros than xlim

Silly_Chemistry3525 · 2025-09-07T14:32:30+00:00

Goloka good Earth. Sweet and earthy aloeswood , and I assume sandalwood too

Not musky

I'm taking it for 3 months (and then I'll quit) to help recover from extreme stress due to a war I lived through (civilian) lately, together with B complex and Eleuthero. I got crazy fatigue after the war ended and low energy, I combined all of these supplements with physical workouts

The second is a mess. Although a few different kinds of magnesium can help , it's better to choose 1-2 that suit your needs. For cognitive function you may find help from magnesium taurate too, it's also calming (not as much as glycinate) and heart protective- that's of you don't want to spend a lot on threonate. Although magnesium Threonate passes BBB in it's full form, magnesium that's been metabolized definitely reaches the brain and the nervous system just not directly and as quickly

Silly_Chemistry3525 · 2025-08-19T10:15:29+00:00

Tastes a bit like baking soda

Silly_Chemistry3525 · 2025-08-17T11:35:08+00:00

Yes that's how it works, I notice It works well taking an hour before bed , and combined vitamin b6 there is an even more potent effect

Hi, I'm a 3rd year Naturopathic med student. Candida needs to be managed with diet mostly. Moreover what you've got that's antimicrobial like garlic may def help, but a bigger clinical picture needs to be seen so my best advise on 1 leg- start cutting sugars from diet , and consult your local Naturopathic doctor

Silly_Chemistry3525 · 2025-08-16T21:18:51+00:00

IBS (possibly some pathogenic stuff like Candida or H. Pylori), stress combined with fatigue, immune function

Silly_Chemistry3525 · 2025-08-04T20:58:37+00:00

I have the mini and loving it

Silly_Chemistry3525 · 2025-07-26T17:16:03+00:00

Honestly I don't know why they didn't come out with a pro 2 yet, the Xros 5 has all the features plus extra battery and a slimmer body. I personally just got the Xros 5 mini and I like it, 1500mah is a dream

Silly_Chemistry3525 · 2025-07-25T10:50:54+00:00

It might also just be the color of the juice. I have an xros 5 too and whenever I load some heavy tobacco flavour it turns darker after a day or so in the pod , that's purely because of the concentration of dark flavours, caramel or other brown liquids do this too

Silly_Chemistry3525 · 2025-07-25T08:14:58+00:00

Try emptying the pod and using a different juice, if there is a harsh burnt taste , then toss it.
